Many things in life will catch your eye, but only a few will capture your heart - follow those.

There is a period in youth when he thinks that any dress she has on is the most wonderful gown ever designed and she thinks anything she has on is not nearly good enough for him to see her in.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

We are the generation that tried to grow up too fast.

*The Teen Commandments*
Don't let your parents down, they brought you up.
Choose your companions with care, you become what they are.
Be master of your habits, or they will master you.
Treasure your time; don't spend it, invest it.
Stand for something or you'll fall for anything.
Select only a date that would make a good mate.
See what you can do for others; not what they can do for you.
Guard your thoughts, what you think is what you are.
Don't fill up on this world's crumbs, feed your soul on living bread.
Give your all for Christ; He gave His all for YOU!

Adolescence is the age at which children stop asking questions because they know all the answers.

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one
cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

Girls like you come around once in a life time.

Hold your children with open arms, so they always know they can come home to you.

How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

I am unwritten. The pen's in my hand, ending unplanned.

I cannot think of any need in
childhood as strong as the need
for a father's protection.

I have seen my kid struggle into the kitchen in the morning with outfits that need only one accessory: an empty gin bottle.

I'm just the girl next door

I'm nice, you can't expect me to be organized too.

i'm not a player...i'm the game

I'm not bossy! I just have better ideas.

It used to be that I could look at you and see traces of the baby you once were. Now I look at you and instead catch glimpses of the man you will become.

It's easy to blend in with the crowd, but you owe it to yourself to live your life in color.

Kids don't care what you know til they know that you care.

Life's journey is always easier when you
hear a friends footsteps beside you.

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes

Love is the closest thing we have to fire, so letís help make the sparks fly.

May you live all the days of your life.

May you love the child you were and the man you'll grow to be.

Maybe our mistakes are what makes our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or be who we are. After all seasons change. So do cities. People come in our lives and people go. But it's comforting...the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're lucky, always will be.

No matter how crazed and bent out of shape I ever got, you were always there for me and I'll never forget it. You really are my best friend.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Raising teenagers is like nailing Jell-O to a tree.

She is the prom queen I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader I'm sitting in the stands

She's Miss America and I'm just the girl next door

Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in this scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely

Somewhere out there is a unique place for you to help others--a unique life role for you to fill that only you can fill.

Teenagers are people who express a burning desire to be different by dressing alike.

Teenagers complain how there's nothing to do, but spend all night doing it.

Telling a teenager the facts of life
is like giving a fish a bath.

The only smart thing about you is your mouth.

The only thing or person that can get in the way of you happiness and dreams is you.

The parents of a teenager understand why some animals eat their young!

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.

Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.

To an adolescent, there is nothing in the world more embarrassing than a parent.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

We can not form our children on our own concepts: we must take them and love them as God gives them to us.

We don't love the people we love because they are perfect. We love them because they are.

Well, today was a total waste of makeup.

What I see is just a glimpse of the man you'll be

When you begin to miss me, just remember that you are who let me go.

Why not learn to enjoy the little things...there are so many of them.

You are more than a human being, you are a human becoming.

You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face
And show the world all the love in your heart
Then people gonna treat you better
You're gonna find, yes, you will
That you're beautiful as you feel
